Good resturants in Alaska Ports?

[CruzerKat]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone reccomend some good places to eat in Ketchican, Junea, and Skagway?

We love seafood :D ....any place where the locals would go?:rolleyes:

From what I remember of the ports when we were there 5 yrs ago there was virtually nothing of note at all

 

Things may have changed but you are talking about "the last frontier"

Haven't found any outstanding restaurants in Alaska, but Vancouver BC has some great steak houses!

Mmmmm - Fish on a Stick in the back of the Skagway Brewing Company. Like Fish and Chips, but you get a choice of Salmon or Halibut (or both!) skewered on a stick! :D Unfortunately I hear that the brewery and restaurant ares no longer there, it's only a gift shop now :( I hear the Skagway Fish Company is good though (near where the ships dock.)

 

Don't worry -I'm sure others will chime in with more suggestions!

The Hangar and the Twisted Fish in Juneau! You can find some info about both of these restaurants at http://juneaualaska.com/dining/

 

Twisted Fish has excellent halibut!

It's not seafood but we liked Bullwinkle's Family Pizza Parlor at 318 Willoughby in Juneau. It's near the Alaska State Museum. Good pizza and sandwiches for a reasonable price in a low key environment. Free popcorn while you're waiting for your order. There were a good number of folks there (seemed to be more a local crowd than a cruiseship one) but we could still find a table at lunchtime without much trouble.

 

Also, stop in at the Taku smokehouse (near where the Coral docked) in Juneau. They have a free self-guided tour of the smoking process and offer free samples of their smoked salmon. Yummy!

I second what Caroline said about the Twisted Fish. The tempura halibut is wonderful!
